Most hardware stores I go to have way more SAE hardware than they do metric. I'm using SAE sockets to drive the SAE hex lags that my hardware store sells. There's no metric options available for concrete wedge anchors either, none that I've ever seen. Hex tapcons, SAE too. HVAC, electrical? Need lots of SAE fasteners and tools to install them. If I need to source hardware for a project TODAY I'm just going to buy what's available.....
You should start working on stuff besides just whatever you deal with on your car or whatever. Pretty sure most trailers are SAE stud/lugnuts still, so...anyone who does anything more than your shadetree work is simply dealing with both.
Harbor freight can be a really good deal too if you find them on sale. Right now they're $28.99 which is NOT a good price. I found them on sale for $20 and then was able to use a coupon on one to get it down to something like $17. Although HF is less pieces overall they include larger sizes, which in my opinion adds a lot of value. Most people have basic mechanic kits that already include all of the standard smaller sizes so getting those a second time doesn't add much value. A single larger size deep impact socket can be $8-15 so getting them as part of the HF kit is nice.
Again - if you don't have something like this already though this deal is very legit.

Looks pretty good if you can find it locally. No luck for me. Some Amazon sets I've been watching for comparison are 45 pieces for $80 or 20 pieces for $36. Those are Cr-V though. These should be better with a better warranty.

HF only impact socket set is the pittsburgh set and it's garbage. For this price for an impact set this is hard to beat.
I got the last one near by. I use 1/2 often working on medium duty trucks

The 32mm HF socket can easily handle 800 ft-lbs continuous without complaint. No problem returning any HF tool with lifetime warranty. No receipt required. Just keep the original box for easy identification.

Millions of people who own and fix up older American cars and trucks. Also lots of heavy equipment is SAE. I use them every day working on classic American cars.
